Alexis Sharkey, missing Houston Instagram influencer, found dead
Houston-based Instagram influencer Alexis Sharkey has been found dead after going missing over the Thanksgiving holiday, consistent with her family
“It’s with deeply broken hearts that Mike and that i want to allow you to all know that Lexi’s body has been found. We cannot begin to many thanks all for your love and therefore the kind words you’ve extended to our family!” Sharkey’s mother, Stacy Robinault, wrote on Facebook late Sunday
“Please give us this point to grieve this incredible loss to our family and this world!!! we'll miss you, Love
Sharkey, 26, who’d moved to Houston earlier this year, left her home following an argument sometime Friday evening, didn’t take her car, and hadn’t been seen or heard from since, Robinault told KPRC 2
The mom, who hadn’t spoken to her daughter since before Thanksgiving, said Sharkey’s husband, Tom Sharkey, called Saturday to mention she was missing
[He] called us up to allow us to know, and that’s when, of course, any parent goes into full panic mode,” Robinault told ABC 13
The Houston local department didn’t have immediate details on where Alexis’ body was found or how she died. A spokesperson told The Post more information would be released later Monday
Alexis, who had quite 21,000 followers on Instagram, considered herself a “mentor” and last told her followers a few week ago that she wanted to maneuver to Tulum after falling crazy with the Mexican locale
Late Sunday, her husband posted an image of Alexis in her bridal gown with the caption, “Never seen or felt such beauty! you're my world
He also posted a message on his story to defend himself — saying people that had negative things to mention about how his wife went missing should be “ashamed
“I just want to mention this! While a number of you were posting on social media helping us locate my world! and that we appreciate all of your help, Love and support! Others were waisting [sic] time talking about other things. Basically crap talk! And if my wife would of seen this she would be disappointed in your actions! You all should be ashamed of yourselves!” Tom wrote
“I are assisting the deputies and making phone calls to fine [sic] out what happened to my wife. Next time…. stop and think! And realize! You don’t realize it all
